SERIOUSLY.....................

But the guinea pigs like us that bought into Fords new "infotainment" system still get screwed??? This is absolutely ridiculous! I guess unless you are buying Fords latest product they could care less about your car. Thanks for looking after your loyal customers.

 

How are you getting screwed by that? Your car doesn't have MyFordTouch.

 

It would be ideal if the owners of current 3.1 equipped sync mustangs that happen to get ones built before updates to the system could get an update. I thought the dealer could do it, but to my disappointment it didn't work.

 

I was just thinking about this on the way home today...did this ever get released? If not, what's the hold up?

 

Oh sure, Kyle, stick up for Ford. Next you're going to say I don't have a legitimate complaint about Ford's policy of not updating the software for the four-wheel drive system on my Mustang.

 

It's the simple fact that they are updating their current "infotainment" system and not doing a **** thing about our "old" stuff. Our Sync stuff isnt that outdated -- just forgotten. That's how................

 

You can thank Microsoft buddy Ford doesn't write the software

 

Unfortunately Electronic stuff gets old fast. If you buy a Kenwood aftermarket deck now and in a year Kenwood comes out with a new one, do you expect them to give you the new deck? Even with updated Sync software, the older decks can only be changed so much.

 

My analogy was going to be that complaining about newer cars having newer infotainment systems is like a 2010 Mustang owner complaining that Ford didn't give them a 5.0 when they came out. I like yours too.

I would think it's a hardware issue; otherwise, there'd be no reason for Ford not to give us the upgrade.

 

I downloaded an update for sync from sync my ride I wonder what it improves

 

I'm sure you're right but it kinda sucks that it appears, at least, Ford didn't prepare for this. I believe with our '10 models there was only ever 1 update available. SUCKS !!

 

I am a bit worried about that too.... would imagine the "next" generation of sync will come with new hardware when the mustang gets the redesign. Hoepfully us 2013's won't be left out of the party like some were.

 

I think what some of us are upset about is that even our version of SYNC was supposed to have text to speech and Applink. That never happened. Or did I dream that?

 

Sync already supports that, but your cell phone must as well. The iPhone all the way up to the 4S does not. I had a Windows Phone 7 before my current iPhone 4S and it supported text to speech. When a text message came in sync would read it out to me, and I was then able to talk back a reply.

This was in both my 2010 GT500 and 2010 Raptor, without ever updating Sync.

 

My big gripe with this whole plan is how they've appeared to keep the physical components and functionality the same, yet the software is different. I could understand it if there was a revision between the 2010 and 2013 radio units, but for them to change it every year and not roll the older units forward seems like a poor decision. If the 2010 came out with v2.XX, the 2011 had v3.XX, and the 2012 had v4.XX, but the 2010 and 2011 could be updateable to v4.XX, there'd be no problem. I'm not quite sure I understand their rational in their architecture.

That'd be like Microsoft rolling out Windows every year and telling you that you couldn't update from XP to Vista to Win7 as they came out.

 

I don't think Microsoft releases the software. The voice technology and everything underlying is MS, but the actual software is done by Ford.

 

Proof?

 

Where's yours? Just because something is powered by MS doesn't make it an MS product

 

Proof from me? I'm not the one that made the statement...
